Instructions for Completing Part II of EPA Form R 1.3 Generic Chemical Name Complete Section 1.3 only if you are claiming the specific EPCRA section 313 chemical identity of the EPCRA section 313 chemical as a trade secret and have marked the trade secret block in Part I, Section 2.1 on page 1 of Form R. Enter a generic chemical name that is descriptive of the chemical structure. You should limit the generic name to seventy characters (e.g., numbers, letters, spaces, punctuation) or less. Do not enter mixture names in Section 1.3; see Section 2 below. In-house plant codes and other substitute names that are not structurally descriptive of the EPCRA section 313 chemical identity being withheld as a trade secret are not acceptable as a generic name. The generic name must appear on both sanitized and unsanitized Form Rs, and the name must be the same as that used on your substantiation forms. 1.4 Distribution of Each Member of the Dioxin and Dioxin-like Compounds Category Report a distribution of the chemicals included in the dioxin and dioxin-like compounds category. Such distribution shall either represent the distribution of the total quantity of dioxin and dioxin-like compounds released to all media from your facility; or your facility's one best media-specific distribution. When reporting dioxin and dioxin-like compounds, if there are any numbers in boxes 1-17, then every field must be filled in with either 0 or some number between 0.01 and 100. Distribution should be reported in percentages and the total should equal 100%. If you do not have speciation data available, you should indicate NA. If you are not reporting for dioxin and dioxin-like compounds, leave the entire section blank. You should not report the quantity of dioxin and dioxin-like compounds released or otherwise managed as waste in Section 1.4. Quantities released or otherwise managed as waste must be reported in Sections 5, 6 and 8. There are 17 individual chemicals listed in the dioxin and dioxin-like compounds category. Each of these chemicals are assigned a number from 1 to 17. These numbers correspond to the boxes in Section 1.4. The individual chemicals in the dioxin and dioxin-like compounds category and their number are in the matrix below: 6 60851–34–5 2,3,4,6,7,8-Hexachlorodibenzofuran 7 39227–28–6 1,2,3,4,7,8-Hexachlorodibenzo- p-dioxin 8 57653–85–7 1,2,3,6,7,8-Hexachlorodibenzo- p-dioxin 9 19408–74–3 1,2,3,7,8,9-Hexachlorodibenzo- p-dioxin 10 35822–46–9 1,2,3,4,6,7,8-Heptachlorodibenzo- p- dioxin 11 39001–02–0 1,2,3,4,6,7,8,9-Octachlorodibenzofuran 12 03268–87–9 1,2,3,4,6,7,8,9-Octachlorodibenzo- p- dioxin 13 57117–41–6 1,2,3,7,8-Pentachlorodibenzofuran 14 57117–31–4 2,3,4,7,8-Pentachlorodibenzofuran 15 40321–76–4 1,2,3,7,8-Pentachlorodibenzo- p-dioxin 16 51207–31–9 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzofuran 17 01746–01–6 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo- p-dioxin Section 2. Mixture Component Identity Do not complete this section if you have completed Section 1 of Part II. Report the generic name provided to you by your supplier in this section if your supplier is claiming the chemical identity proprietary or trade secret. Do not answer “yes” in Part I, Section 2.1 on page 1 of the form if you complete this section. You do not need to supply trade secret substantiation forms for this EPCRA section 313 chemical because it is your supplier who is claiming the chemical identity a trade secret. Example 10: Mixture Containing Unidentified EPCRA Section 313 Chemical Your facility uses 20,000 pounds of a solvent that your supplier has told you contains 80% “chlorinated aromatic,” their generic name for a non-PBT EPCRA section 313 chemical subject to reporting under EPCRA section 313. You, therefore, have used 16,000 pounds of some EPCRA section 313 chemical and that exceeds the “otherwise use” threshold for a non-PBT chemical. You would file a Form R and enter the name “chlorinated aromatic” in the space provided in Part II, Section 2. 1 67562–39–4 1,2,3,4,6,7,8-Heptachlorodibenzofuran 2 55673–89–7 1,2,3,4,7,8,9-Heptachlorodibenzofuran 3 70648–26–9 1,2,3,4,7,8-Hexachlorodibenzofuran 2.1 Generic Chemical Name Provided by Supplier Enter the generic chemical name in this section only if the following three conditions apply: 4 57117–44–9 1,2,3,6,7,8-Hexachlorodibenzofuran 5 72918–21–9 1,2,3,7,8,9-Hexachlorodibenzofuran 36 Toxics Release Inventory Reporting Forms and Instructions
Instructions for Completing Part II of EPA Form R 1. You determine that the mixture contains an EPCRA section 313 chemical but the only identity you have for that chemical is a generic name; 2. You know either the specific concentration of that EPCRA section 313 chemical component or a maximum or average concentration level; and 3. You multiply the concentration level by the total annual amount of the whole mixture processed or otherwise used and determine that you meet the process or otherwise use threshold for that single, generically identified mixture component. Section 3. Activities and Uses of the EPCRA Section 313 Chemical at the Facility Indicate whether the EPCRA section 313 chemical is manufactured (including imported), processed, or otherwise used at the facility and the general nature of such activities and uses at the facility during the calendar year (see figure 3). You are not required to report on Form R the quantity manufactured, processed or otherwise used. Report activities that take place only at your facility, not activities that take place at other facilities involving your products. You must check all the boxes in this section that apply. Refer to the definitions of “manufacture,” “process,” and “otherwise use” in the general information section of these instructions or Part 40, Section 372.3 of the Code of Federal Regulations for additional explanations. 3.1 Manufacture the EPCRA Section 313 Chemical Persons who manufacture (including import) the EPCRA section 313 chemical must check at least one of the following: a. Produce — The EPCRA section 313 chemical is produced at the facility. b. Import — The EPCRA section 313 chemical is imported by the facility into the Customs Territory of the United States. (See Section B.3.a of these instructions for further clarification of import.) And check at least one of the following: c. For on-site use/processing — The EPCRA section 313 chemical is produced or imported and then further processed or otherwise used at the same facility. If you check this block, generally you should also check at least one item in Part II, Section 3.2 or 3.3. d. For sale/distribution — The EPCRA section 313 chemical is produced or imported specifically for sale or distribution outside the manufacturing facility. e. As a byproduct — The EPCRA section 313 chemical is produced coincidentally during the manufacture, processing, or otherwise use of another chemical substance or mixture and, following its production, is separated from that other chemical substance or mixture. EPCRA section 313 chemicals produced as a result of waste management are also considered byproducts. f. As an impurity — The EPCRA section 313 chemical is produced coincidentally as a result of the manufacture, processing, or otherwise use of another chemical but is not separated and remains in the mixture or other trade name product with that other chemical. In summary, if you are a manufacturer of the EPCRA section 313 chemical, you must check (a) and/or (b), and at least one of (c), (d), (e), and (f) in Section 3.1. 3.2 Process the EPCRA Section 313 Chemical Persons who process the EPCRA section 313 chemical must check at least one of the following: a. As a reactant — A natural or synthetic EPCRA section 313 chemical is used in chemical reactions for the manufacture of another chemical substance or of a product. Includes but is not limited to, feedstocks, raw materials, intermediates, and initiators. b. As a formulation component — An EPCRA section 313 chemical is added to a product (or product mixture) prior to further distribution of the product that acts as a performance enhancer during use of the product. Examples of EPCRA section 313 chemicals used in this capacity include, but are not limited to, additives, dyes, reaction diluents, initiators, solvents, inhibitors, emulsifiers, surfactants, lubricants, flame retardants, and rheological modifiers. c. As an article component — An EPCRA section 313 chemical becomes an integral component of an article distributed for industrial, trade, or consumer use. One example is the pigment components of paint applied to a chair that is sold. d. Repackaging — This consists of processing or preparation of an EPCRA section 313 chemical (or product mixture) for distribution in commerce in a different form, state, or quantity. This includes, but is not limited to, the transfer of material from a bulk container, such as a tank truck to smaller containers such as cans or bottles. e. As an impurity — The EPCRA section 313 chemical is processed but is not separated and remains in the mixture or other trade name product with that/those other chemical(s).
